Talk about your current living situation. Has anything changed during the pandemic (for example, where you're living, who you're living with, etc.).
This is a piece of the calendar of post-it notes my daughter and I started last March when she came home from college. The first week of quarantine last March, we thought it would be interesting to mark the days of staying home and see if we could make it across the room. We had no idea our swoops of seven flags (representing a week) would go all the way around the room. After 10 weeks, we started stacking the flags. Yesterday, at 55 weeks, we finally reached the last day. I’m so thankful that we’ve had no interruptions to our jobs and housing, but it’s great to be done with all that staying home!

I wish we had more direction from the CDC about people being together. My husband and I were invited to a backyard BBQ this weekend, and I'm feeling conflicted about whether it's safe. There will be 10 of us there, and everyone is vaccinated. We plan to stay outside but won't be wearing masks because we will be eating and drinking. It seems like this is consistent with safe behavior for vaccinated people, but I am having a lot of anxiety about it. Maybe this isn't totally a good idea? Maybe this year has made me a little agoraphobic? Maybe it will take some practice to get back to normal?
